Audience Reviews for The Mirror Crack'd

Feb 18, 2014

An all-star cast usually indicates a lack of substance in a film -- one that relies on flashiness over story telling. The Mirror Crack'd is no exception. Nevertheless, it is an enjoyable film despite its credulity-stretching reveal and typical confession-without-compelling-evidence resolution. It's a fun lark, but not serious film...and the cat fights should be on every diva-watcher's "must see" list.

As usual with a star studded cast, your focus gets lost, and the story gets boring. Other than that, the mystery is pretty interesting. If you're a fan of these kind of films, watch it, it's pretty good.

Kim Novak is the standout here with a wonderfully droll performance, but the picture borders on poor taste sticking as closely as it does to the Gene Tierney tragedy.

Elizabeth Taylor is quite a spectacle here, playing a character much like her own self. Angela Lansbury as Marple is awesome. The suspects: Tony Curtis, Rock Hudson and Kim Novak give the movie some flair. I found it a bit dry and long, but the murders kept the momentum going.
